About the Item

Original United States Food Administration vintage poster. This is what GOD gives us United States Food Administration. Artist A. Hendee. This is what GOD gives us What are you giving so that others may live? Eat less --wheat --meat --fats --sugar Send more to Europe or they will Stave. A bounty of freshly harvested food is shown in the image. One of the more beautiful posters produced by the United States Food Administration for the war effort. World War 1 posters were primarily full lithographs that are more brilliant and had deeper colors than later offset printed posters. This could have easily been created for the celebration of Thanksgiving During World War I when the U. S. government sought to persuade citizens to help the war effort, it turned to a group of volunteer artists for help. Throughout the conflict, the United States Food Administration and the National War Garden Commission, encouraged citizens to use food wisely and to produce food at home. Original vintage poster from World War 1. Archival linen backed and ready to frame. Rawls, p. 120.
